Dear Kelso C-7 Parents/Guardian:

Kelso C-7 School District takes great pride in their long tradition of success. Our educators are a huge piece that facilitates that tradition of success. We believe in hiring the best candidates.

 In accordance with Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Parents’ Right-to Know, it is required that parents be notified if their child is assigned a teacher for four or more consecutive weeks who does not hold an appropriate state teaching certificate in the area in which the teacher has been assigned.

 These educators may not hold the "appropriate" certification, but we believe they are the best to fill the roles to ensure success for your children.

 Mrs. Katelyn Jansen
